Do you mean that this style is considered "cutting edge?"  I do think that 
Pete and Roger (as usual) are aware of the latest thing, and I think maybe 
this is it.  Remember the Five for Fighting guy who sang "Superman" at CFNY? 
 I've heard some other indications of it, too.  The guy bands have their 
own version of the jazz singing/Nora Jones style.  Isn't that curious?

Messages are Pete's thing, of course.  Even songs with minimal structure 
have a message.
